Here is a semi-recent build-time benchmark for a stipped down amd64 kernel
clang:
     182.04 real       166.68 user        13.29 sys

gcc:
     217.79 real       211.00 user        13.22 sys

libmicro runtime syscall benchmark results from April:

So runtime performance is on par with gcc, code size is a bit bigger
so there is still room for optimization in LLVM.
